Common auto electrical jobs in Como
Como is about 6 km from the city and covers around 6.7 square kilometres, bordering both rivers. With four schools and the freeway on its doorstep, plenty of local cars do school runs and peak-hour commutes.
School runs and short trips
Como has several schools, and the morning and afternoon runs are short, stop-start trips. That pattern is hard on batteries, especially with stop-start engines and the air conditioning running. If the car is slow to crank, have the battery tested. Our guide on car battery types helps you choose the right replacement. A battery test takes only minutes. Heat shortens battery life as well.

Boats on the Canning River
With river frontage on both sides, some Como residents keep a boat or kayak trailer. Trailer lights and plugs suffer every time they're dipped at a ramp. Sealed LED lights and a good earth wire make them more reliable. Rinse the trailer after use and check the plug for corrosion. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working helps with fault-finding.

Warning lights on the freeway
A warning light that appears on Kwinana Freeway in peak traffic is stressful. Many are caused by a sensor fault or a weak battery rather than a serious problem. An OBD2 scanner reads the fault code and helps you decide what to do. Our guide on reading fault codes shows how. Red lights mean stop when safe. Amber lights mean get it checked soon.

Reversing out of busy driveways
Backing out onto Canning Highway or a busy side street near a school is easier with a reversing camera and parking sensors. Many older cars can have a camera fitted at the number plate with a screen on the mirror. Seal the connections and fuse the power supply. Front sensors help in tight school car parks too. They also help with low garden walls.

Como auto electrical questions
What battery does my stop-start car need?
Most stop-start cars need an AGM or EFB battery designed for frequent restarts. Fitting a standard battery can cause early failure and may switch off the stop-start system. Check your owner's manual or the label on the existing battery, and remember some cars need the new battery registered to the car's computer.
Why do my boat trailer lights stop working after launching?
Water gets into the globe holders, wiring joins and plug, causing corrosion. Old-style trailer lamps aren't sealed, so even a short dip can cause trouble. Sealed LED lamps and heat-shrunk joins are far more reliable, and running a dedicated earth wire back to the plug helps too.
Local tip for Como
If your car does mostly short school runs around Como, take it for a longer drive on the freeway once a week, at least 20 minutes at steady speed. It gives the battery a proper charge and helps you notice any warning lights or charging problems before they leave you stuck in a school car park.
